Day 6: Enho Wins From the Edge With a Shitatenage to Go 5-1: 'Kyushu's Air and Water Suit Me'
East Juryo 10 Enho, 32 (Isegahama), beat West Juryo 13 Tokifudo, 23 (Tokitsukaze), on Day 6 for his fifth win. Wrapped up and forced to the edge, he turned it around with a shitatenage. 'I held on to the end. I was desperate,' he said (Sports Hochi). He is 5-1, one behind the juryo leader. Excluding absences he has had a losing record in Kyushu only once: 'The food is good, and the air and water suit me.' Asked about his winning run: 'Nothing's different. If I get up on the dohyo each day and come down without getting hurt... Today ended safely too, so that's good. I'll prepare for tomorrow' (Tokyo Sports).
